I'm trying to seperate workspaces so that the dock/launcher will only show applications in its current workspace/virtual desktop.

I tried several suggestions online but they didn't work.

When I did:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.app-switcher current-workspace-only true
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock isolate-workspaces true

Nothing happened. It still would show all applications in all workstations.

I also tried following the solution in this thread but I got this error when trying to open dconf-editor:

root@jeff-ws:~# dconf-editor 
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(dconf-editor:15565): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:54:05.990: cannot open display: :0

Does anyone happen to know how to get it working? Running on 18.04.5 LTS (Bionic Beaver)

Huge thanks ahead.

Running dconf-editor as root allowed me to follow the steps in the thread I provided. This solved the issue.
